Claims this is not a love alliance, but one born of necessity
Governor Punjab, Sardar Saleem Haider Khan, stated that while the PPP suffered political losses due to its alliance with the PML-N, the party remains committed to seeing party’s chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari become prime minister in the interest of the nation.
Speaking at a reception hosted by Rana Akram in Rahmanpura, Punjab on Monday, Governor Haider emphasised the need for good governance and accountability in the province.
“We must work for the betterment of our province, strictly adhering to merit and following a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption,” he said.
He added that positions of power are temporary and that he would leave his post with his head held high. “I came with dignity, and I will leave with dignity. My job is to work on merit, and now I will be going into the streets of Lahore, meeting the party loyalists who have dedicated their lives to the party, and re-engaging those disheartened workers,” he said.
Commenting on the current political alliance between PML-N and PPP, the governor remarked, “This is not a love alliance, but one born of necessity. The country cannot afford political experiments at this time. If Pakistan is not politically stable, nothing will improve.”
